The new technology addresses a significant friction point for logistics, construction, and waste management companies: the cost and downtime associated with replacing functional hardware to meet modern safety requirements. By allowing businesses to upgrade their current camera setups with AI-powered detection, the company aims to minimize electronic waste while accelerating the adoption of collision-avoidance systems.

According to Jordan Marshall, UK Marketing Manager at Brigade, the move toward retrofitting is a direct response to industry demands for practical, sustainable safety improvements. The AI HFR Box provides real-time visual and audible alerts to drivers, effectively bridging the gap between legacy hardware and advanced, sensor-driven safety protocols. This approach supports a circular economy model by extending the lifespan of installed equipment, ensuring that safety upgrades remain accessible to operators across diverse sectors including agriculture, mining, and public transport.
